  1. i went from a mono yam to a 98 mont 315. i found a big difference in the two, the mont is just better. the yam is definately tuffer though. i've ridden a few new bike too, the 315 feels dated mostly in the brakes and suspension but the 315 has lots of power with decent clutch control, not explosive but well planted and tractable. all in all a nice bike if you can find a well maintained one its a plus.

  2. i was ready to light myself on fire :D until my wife suggested; hang fr wheel up from ceiling, rotate mc, and bleed using clear tube method (clean). worked great on my monty but i havn't found a blond assistant to help me lift my goldwing! :wall:

  3. i have the same bike and had the same problem. i did exactly what was said above, replaced the metal plates with after market ones, put in a good oil, and filed down all the grooves on the leading edge of the basket. i also would recommend bleeding the system WELL, and measuring to see if there is much slop between the push rod and the presure plate. it needs some clearance but not lots, you can add a thicker shim. make shure the presure plate is coming out evenly, if it isn't, change your springs. nice bike when sorted have fun. jer (don't over tork the presure plate)

  4. Taff - Things have been REALLY quiet from the West Coast today - Could it be that Fracy has walked off into the Pacific - calling " Linden where are you Trevor"???? Helloooooo !!!!!!!

    not so quiet now heading home 1-1 from the montesa centre. ;)


    Brian:

    don't feel too bad, you are learning the hard way that regular season success does not equal playoff success. Our team finally have it right, start with a great goalie and work out from there!!! We will see how we do against a big but slow Anaheim team.

    Donald, sorry but I really have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who cheers for the stinkin Leafs! :)

    well said steve! but i would rather be playing toronto than anahiem. :thumbup:

  5. I'm servicing my beta and i have come to bleed the brakes on it. and no matter what i do i can't seem to get them to work.

    is there a certain way you have to do it on these bikes.

    as my stepdad who has had bikes years cant even fathem why they wont work.

    the back has no pressure on the lever really and the front does nt either.

    can you explain how you bleed the brakes on oyurs.

    thank you.

    Hey i have a mont and also had trouble with air. Shops recommended opening the fitting at the calipper or they use a pump and push the fluid in from the calliper up to the m.c. On mine no amount of bleeding seemed to work on my fr. brake or on my clutch which had drag. I ended up hanging my bike from the ceiling of the garage rotating the m.c. on the bar so it was level and bleeding that way. It worked great the brake. I hung up the front of the bike the clutch i hung up the back. Strong brakes now and no clutch drag! Like i said no amount of bleeding worked for me, i tried every which way but that worked great the first time and the best thing is it was my wifes idea. :)

  6. Neo, the one Ralph has got, you can get one from Lampkins, Dellorto have put the choke etc on the right hand side for the Beta :icon_salut: Ralphs VHST is still running perfectly since he bought it in November, thats at least 4 hours riding :thumbup:

    so what kind of charicteristics change with the new carb? has it been totaly reliable? and how was it to tune in initialy? (I guess i should be asking ralph)

  7. am i correct in thinking this thing is a t34 from the late 80's? local guys don't seem to have info on this vintage. it would be great to get some info on the ignition if anybody still has some. who is ron?
